UNCLE SIMON advanced his form on his first start for Jack Morland when an excellent recent second at Redcar and is hard to ignore off the same mark here. Chepstow victor Miakoda appeals as the one to chase him home with Berning Hot and Rajinoora appealing as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
